TROUBLESHOOTING
Most incline trainer problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and follow the steps listed.
SYMPTOM: The power does not turn on
a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge suppressor, and that the surge suppressor is plugged into a properly grounded outlet.Use only a surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications.
IMPORTANT: If the incline trainer is connected to an AFCI-equipped outlet and your circuit breaker trips repeatedly when the incline trainer is used, see the front cover of this manual to purchase an arc filter.
b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is inserted into the console.
c. Check the power switch located on the incline trainer frame near the power cord. If the switch protrudes as shown, the switch has tripped. To reset the power switch, wait for five minutes and then press the switch back in.

Next, locate the Reed Switch (67) and the Magnet
(45) on the left side of the Pulley (42). Turn the Pulley until the Magnet is
aligned with the Reed Switch. The gap between the Magnet and the Reed
Switch must be about 1/8 in. (3 mm). If necessary, loosen the #8 x 3/4"
Truss Head Screw (8), move the Reed Switch slightly, and then retighten the
Truss Head Screw. Then, reattach the cover, and run the incline trainer for a
few minutes to check for a correct speed reading.
SYMPTOM: The walking belt slows when
walked on
a. Use only a surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 19.
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, incline trainer performance may decrease and the walking belt may become damaged. First, adjust the incline to 40 percent. Then, remove the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the hex key, turn both idler roller screws counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is properly tightened, you should be able to lift each edge of the walking belt 3 to 4 in. (8 to 10 cm) off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the incline trainer for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.

ignition systems, neon lamps, electric drifts, or other electric appliances.
Try changing the position of your fitness equipment or other electric appliances
to correct the problem.
# Ghosts
# Ghosts
Ghosts are caused by the TV signal following two
paths one is the direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings,
hills, or other objects. Change the direction or position of the antenna to
improve reception.
# Blue Screen
# Blue Screen
If your fitness equipment is located in the fringe
area of a TV station where the signal is weak, the picture may be of poor quality
or a blue screen may appear. If the signal is weak, it may be necessary to
install an external antenna to improve the picture.
#Fading
If blocks of the picture are missing, the picture
moves around the screen, or the picture disappears, the signal may be weak.
Change the direction or position of the antenna to improve reception. Make sure
the digital TV settings are set correctly.Do not use a splitter.
Note: If one of these problems appears when the cable from a CATV company is connected, the problem may be caused by the cable company broadcast.
SYMPTOM: The digital TV needs to be cleaned
a. UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. To clean the digital TV, wipe the digital TV and screen using a soft cloth with a small amount of soft detergent. Do not use a polishing cloth, solvent, or any type of propellant or chemical detergent such as alcohol or benzene.
